Welcome to “art space co-jin”
The “art space co-jin” managed by Kyoto Culture and Art Promotion Organization for People with Disabilities (Bureau: Kyoto Prefectural Support for Persons with Disabilities Division) as a place to meet the works and expressions by people with disabilities.
The “art space co-jin” is located at Kojinguchi on the east side of Kyoto Imperial Place.
The “art space co-jin” creates opportunities for everyone to interest through activities such as events,workshops,lectures,etc. Its main function is a gallery space displaying various works such as paintings,photographs,pottery and installations.
Origin of the name
The name art space co-jin is made up of two parts. Co is the same sound in ‘Kojinguchi’, the area near Kyoto Imperial Palace, and also is an English prefix meaning ‘together’ or ‘mutually’. Jin is a reading of the Japanese word 人, meaning ‘people’.
Background
In Kyoto Prefecture, we are working towards the realization of a symbiotic and harmonious society, where people with and without disabilities alike can live in safety and with peace of mind.
Recognizing that cultural arts are a means for people to connect with each other, the Kyoto Culture and Art Promotion Organization for people with Disabilities was established in December 2015 as a body that strives to achieve this harmonious society. The art space co-jin was opened in January 2016 as a base for the organization’s activities.
